One
Rivet & Thread collarless workshirt in chambray (B2260, $140) runs XS – XL. The color is called medium (MED). It also comes in white.
Size S – I have a Rivet & Thread chambray shirt that I love. I’m generally not a fan of high neck, collarless blouses and this one didn’t change my mind.
Drop shoulder. Bad. It’s not a good look to extend my shoulders way out past their natural end. Buttoned all the way up, I looked like a priest. Because of the chambray blue, a lot of prison images came to mind. Needless to say I didn’t get any warm, fuzzies. I will point out that I didn’t try it with a blazer. Perhaps if layered with other things, it will look less chaplain-ish. Alas, I can only give it…
Check out the denim downshift top . I have S and love it. Those side pockets make it unique.
Two
Motorcycle sweater (FA14, A9501, $168) runs XXS – XL. Color choices are heather medium grey and navy. 100% merino wool. Trim: 100% leather. It’s currently on sale for $129.99.
Size S – The fit was fine, so tts. The sweater texture is nice. I like the diagonal weave on the arms.
The leather panel was of nice quality, but it felt uncomfortable. It’s asymmetrical on the chest and it felt like it was in the wrong place. I wanted to move it over just a little bit to center it.
I liked it best unzipped.
Three
Assembly pullover (FA14, $89.50) runs XXS – XL. Color choices are coastal blue (seafoam greenish), heather aubergine, heather camel, heather marsh and true black.
10/17 – On promo for $69.50 + 30% off w/PICKMEUP thru 10/20. Only $7 cheaper than a global 30% off of the full price. I ordered on this promo, recvd it very quickly from a local store and love it all over again.
Size S – heather aubergine – I really liked this color. It’s not too heathered, so there’s still a richness to the shade. I like the open, envelope neckline and the stitching. Notice there’s a criss cross stitched in across the chest. I liked that, too. The size S felt a little big, but I liked the way it felt.
Size XS – heather aubergine – The XS looks about the same as the S, but it fit closer to the body. Closer enough to make the fabric feel itchy. I didn’t like the XS. I prefer the looser, slouchier cut of the S. I also would also want to wear it with just a cami under and not always have to have a long sleeve blouse to combat itchiness. The S was far less itchy.
Size S – black – Same deal as before. I preferred the looseness of the S. Black looked good and like the aubergine, wasn’t too ehathered. I’m 5’0″ and measure 37″ across the fullest part of my chest. I love this sweater, but passed on buying it and I’m glad I did. It’s been ranging from 80F-99F here since I tried it on. In the past, I’ve purchased items at the beginning of a season and forgotten about them by the time they were weather appropriate. As much as I love this sweater, I can see forgetting it’s in the drawer. The upside is that I know what size I need if it sells out and popbacks or I find it on Ebay.
This is one of my favorite sweaters from Madewell.

Love the Assembly Pullover on you! It's on my radar as well – I love the stitching in it – but it has been so warm here lately, I just haven't felt like even contemplating sweaters yet.
I'm glad to hear you love the downshift top. I have it and love it, nice to see it #gigiapproved 🙂 I hope the measurements I posted helped, I didn't see your question until a while later and then I wasn't sure if you saw my response, but happy it all worked out!
On a side note, have you seen the blanket scarves at Target? They have one that looks like last year's famous "blogger scarf" from Zara, a windowpane one, and several others. If I hadn't already picked up a couple from eBay, I'd be tempted. Okay, I'm still tempted, but I am *resisting*. 🙂
Hi Paula. The only fall sweater I purchased is the marled rib-stitch cardigan (review). I'm so glad I did because it sold out. I am sure I have at least 2-3 sweaters I have yet to wear, so I feel like I can wait. I've seen a couple of cute scarves at Target, but not the infamous Zara scarf. I have that one, so I can't wait to compare the two.
Thank you for the measurements on the downshift top. It worked out perfectly!!! I wore it the day after I got it.
I love the Assembly pullover too. I have last year's version of the motorcycle sweater and it's one of my favorites, but last year's didn't have the leather panel. It was better without it, IMO.
cate – No leather panel sounds much, much better! Thanks chiming in 🙂
The Motorcycle Sweater totally reminds of this company in Seattle that makes items out of recycled bicycle inner tubes! They mostly make bags and wallets but perhaps they have expanded into women's clothing!

SE Mom – J. Crew loves a collaboration, right? Alchemy seems like a fit. I can totally see the motorcycle sweater on their site. Thanks for chiming in and sharing 🙂
